Similar numbers of reference indicati-:Acor- 'espondingparts in all the'figures of the drawngs.

In the accompany-ing drawingsd represents the body, to which thefeed-pipe 2 is attached in the ordinary manner, and may be supplied withthe ordinary lfiltering material: The regulating-needle 3 is locatedendarranged in the ordinary manner and is operated as usual.

The body 1 is provided with the uppessage 4 and the down-passage 5,which passages may be end preferably are located .es shown in Fig. 2,and, asshOWn, the upper end is covered by the usual screw-cap, which oepis so located 'when properly adjusted that it, will not 'interfere withthe ow of the liquid The down-passage' 5 connects with the. hori# seinru. 686.995. (No modem y zontel inlet-passage 7, which horizontal pas-.

sage is closed nt its outer end by means of the 'plug .8, which plug isof the ordinary construction.

The mixingtube 9 is substantially of the form shown in Fig. 8, andasshovrn itis pro' vided with suitable air-passages 10,which may be ofan y desired shape and consist of any desired number. The mixing-tube 9rests upon the body 1 at its bottom, or lower'e'nd, which .body formsasnpp'ortdor seid mixing-tube. For the purpose of 'protecting theair-pas'e sages 10. and at the same 'timel retarding the inflow of airthe shield 11 is provided, which shield is also supported upon the bodyl, as illustrated in Fig. 1.'l

For the purpose of forming a. close jont'at the top of the shield 11 themixingftnbeuis ring 12, which ring is located-asshown in. Figs.2snd8..,1. Theoylinder orlhed 13 is substantially ot the form shown 'in-;I1`ig. 5, and when placed in proper position it is locatedsubstantially as shown in Figs. lend 2. The cylinder-or head 13 isprovided with the reduced portion or tube 14, which reducedfportion orvtnbe's coming in contact with the bend .or .enraged ring 15, asillustrated in'Fig. 2, thereby'providing a close joint at the bottom orlower end of the reduced portion 14.

The bodyl is provided with the heatingplete 16, which heating-plate ispreferably formed integral with the bodyV 1, sind, as shown, itisprovided -witlithe flanges 17 and 18. The heating-plate 16,is1locs.tedashort .distance below the bottom o'r lower end of the cylinder or heed'13.

der or head 13 is provided with the subjets trated, or they may bedifferently located, as' their only object isto provide an-esoapeforgas, which .object 'can besccomplished with` out eny specialreference to the exact locationv provided with an inner diameter ofabout the same size as the outer diameter ofthe mixing l x orengnlerityof the subjets, as it will be unv ,1 provided with the annuler beadorswegedy The bottom or lower perdn 'of the eylin- 19, which snhjets maybe located as illusroo of the lamp or other, which lugs are derstoodthaty the same objects hereinafter described can be accomplished withoutany reference to the singularity of the subjets.

In the bottom or lower portion of the cylinder or head 13 is located thedeilector 20, which consists in a convexconcave plate formed of a lengthto correspond with the length of the inner diameter of the cylinderlorhead 13.

In Fig. 6 the inner diameter of the cylinder or head 13 is shownprovided with the lugs 21, it'being understood that there are to be tn'olugs, one diametrically opposite the for the purpose of holdngthedeflectorplate 2O in proper position with reference to the subjets 19.

the perforated band 22 is provided, which perfoi-ated band is locatedsubstanti ally as shown in the ldrawings and is supported in properposition by meansof the bars 23, which bars are connected at theirbottom or lower ends to the chimney band 'orsuppoit 23 and at their topor upper ends tothe supporting-cap 24,' which supporting-cap holds thebottom or lower end of the mantle 25 in proper position, the top orupper end of said mantlebeng supported by the ordinary rod 26, which rodis connected in the usual manner'by means of .the set-screw 27.

In use the heatinv-platc 16 may be brought to the proper head y the useof an alcohollamp or its equivalent applied at Athe bottom which theliquid is turnedon in 'the usual manner and a light applied at the topof the chimney 28.

It will be understood that by the formation of gas in the mixing-tube itwill go up ward and strike the deflecting-platc 20, which causes aportion of the gas to escape through the snbjets 19. The balance,passingthe deector-plate, passes upward'thrqugh the cylinder or head andthe ganze cap 29, sov that the gas is properly distributed to produceperfect combustion.

By providing the deilector-plate and locating the same as shown aportion' of the gas For the purpose of protecting the subjets 19` lowerportion thereof, after will be consumed at the subjets. The largestportion, entering the cylinder or head, finds 5o its way through thescreen-cap into the mantle. The part consumed at the subjets heats theair between the chimney and the mantle, thereby producing a greaterincandescence Having fully described my invention, what 5 5 I claim asnew, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of a body provided with a supply-pipe, passagesleading from the supply-pipe to the lower portion of the 6o mixing-tube,a mixing-tube provided with airpassages, acylinder-head 'locateddirectly above the mixing-tube 'and provided witira deflector, subjetslocated below the deflector and leading from under. the deector to theoutside of themixing-tube, substantially as and for the purposespecified.

2. In an incandescent vapor-burner, the combination of a body, amixing-tube, and means fo'r conveying fuel thereto, a cylinder 7o orhead located directly above the mixingi tube and provided with adeecting-plate, snbjets opening intothe cylinderfhead below thedeecting-plate, a perforated screen or band located around the snbjets,and a heating-'plate located below the snbjets, snbstantially as and forthe purpose specified.

3. The combination of a body and n'supl ply-pipe, a mixing tube provided`with air es,.and the beide I2 and 15the shield 8e 11 located around themixing-tube, the cylinder or head '13 provided 'with the reduced portion14, snbjets located at the bottom or lower-'portion of the cylinderjl,andA a deector located in the lower portion o! the cyl. inder andcovering the inner openings of the snbjets, substantially u and for thepurpose specified. In testimony that I claim the above I have hereuntosubscribed my name in the presence 9o of'two witnesses.
